Foreward

This is the story of Murray Brandys, husband, father, uncle, son-in-law, and friend. This is the story of Moniek Brandys, a Polish immigrant of Jewish faith who traveled to the United States at a young age, who graduated with honors from high school, and who became a successful businessman. But, mostly, this is the story of No. 133909, a Holocaust survivor, captured by German soldiers at age 14 and forced into five years of Nazi labor and concentration camps, and liberated at the age of 20. This is the story that he could not share until now, the story that he felt would weigh too heavily on his family in earlier years.
